Chapter 12 Dragon City Signing Meeting
As a cutting-edge martial arts writer in the Yanhuang Empire, Yu Wenle is still a little apprehensive about the first signing meeting in his life. In the past, on the Internet, Yu Wenle also saw the news that some authors held book signings, and the results came to support the news of book fans.
Don't look at it some time ago, there was a lot of discussion on the news about him on the Internet. But when the physical book is really listed, it will take time to test whether there will be book lovers to buy it. After all, the price of a set of novels is still not cheap!
According to the quotation provided by Royal Culture, the more than one million words of 'Smiling Proud Jianghu' was finally bound in four books. The softcover version of the novel is priced at 112 yuan a set, and the price of each copy is also 28 yuan.
The price of the hardcover version is relatively more expensive. The total price is 192 yuan for a set, and the price of each copy is 48 yuan. For many students, spending money on physical books is still a bit too expensive.
As for martial arts fans who are not short of this money, it is estimated that many people will not go to the signing meeting. For them, it's just a matter of picking up an episode at a nearby bookstore. Rankings and other signatures are undoubtedly a bit of a waste of time.
Early in the morning, Yu Wenle changed into a decent outfit and, accompanied by his father, came to the door of the Royal Culture Media again. For this year's signing meeting, the royal culture media naturally did a lot of publicity.
Looking at Yu Wenle, who came over early in the morning, Qian Xuewen, the president of the company, also said happily: "Wenle, do you have any expectations for today's signing meeting?" Today is also the first day of physical book sales, how many sales do you think we can sell? ”
Faced with such an inquiry, Yu Wenle smiled bitterly: "President Qian, there seems to be no expectation for today's signing meeting, and there are a lot of nervous feelings. I'm really a little worried, and when there is no one at the signing party, this joke will be big.
As for how many sales will be made in a day today, I don't dare to guess too much either. Presumably President Qian also knows that no matter what, I am also a newcomer. Physical books are on the market, and book lovers don't buy them or not, I can't be the master! ”
Hearing such a sincere answer, Qian Xuewen was stunned and said with a smile: "Regarding today's signing meeting, I don't think you should worry too much. According to our preliminary market research, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people at the signing meeting today.
What you have to worry about now is not whether there are book fans, but how many book fans there are. If there are too many book lovers, it is estimated that you will have a sore hand later. Holding a signing meeting is also a very laborious work! ”
As a company engaged in the distribution of novels, Royal Culture Media dared to give Yu Wenle such conditions, and naturally conducted market research. It's just that Qian Xuewen must also admit that the situation that Yu Wenle said is not unprecedented.
The situation of driving high and going low is not unheard of in the line of fiction. After all, it still takes some appeal to get book lovers to pay for books. But Qian Xuewen still thinks that signing a contract with Wenle should not let them lose money!
After staying at the Royal Culture for a while, an assistant who was responsible for assisting Bunraku in organizing the book signing personally drove Bunraku to the largest book store sales center in Dragon City, where today's book signing was held.
The choice of Saturday and Sunday for the first signing meeting was also planned in advance by Royal Culture. The excitement of the first signing will also directly affect the sales performance of Yu Wenraku's novels in the later period.
Even, Royal Culture Media also specially invited some reporters to the signing site for interviews. There is only one purpose, I hope that after the novel goes on sale, it will continue to stir up the topic of this novel.
When Yu Wenle arrived at the book city, the manager of the store also said enthusiastically: "Wen Shao, hello! I am Han Zicheng, the manager of Hope Book City, and I welcome Wen Shao to my book store to hold the first book signing. ”
In the face of Han Zicheng's thanks, Yu Wenle also said politely: "Manager Han, hello! If you can, call me Bunraku! Today's matter, I'm afraid I will trouble you to take care of it more. ”
'It should be! ’
After some conversation, Yu Wenle stayed in the bookstore, quietly waiting for him to play. What Yu Wenle didn't know was that at this moment, outside the gate of Hope Book City, a large number of book fans who had learned the news had gathered.
When the book city officially opened, these book fans said a little eagerly: "Didn't you say that Wen Shao will hold a signing party here today?" Then why didn't you see Wen Shaoren? You don't advertise, do you? ”
In response to the skepticism of these book lovers, the bookstore staff smiled and said, "Guests, please rest assured! As the largest book city in Dragon City, we naturally do not do anything to deceive consumers. Wen Shao has arrived, and he is waiting for everyone at Gate 2! ”
Considering that there are many book lovers, in order to ensure that it does not affect other customers, the bookstore deliberately arranged the signing meeting at the right exit. In this way, book lovers buy good books and go directly to Gate 2, where they can see Yu Wenle waiting.
Hearing that Yu Wenle had arrived, many book lovers directly picked up a set of books, paid the money and trotted towards the second door. Looking at these book fans who came out with books in their hands, Yu Wenle also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing the book fan excitedly stepped forward and said, "Wen Shao, hello!" I'm a fan of your novels, could you please sign the book? My name is He Shuheng, I should be the first to come out, right? ”
The male book lover looked at the people behind him and said this with some excitement. After all, He Shuheng is also very proud to be the first object of Yu Wenle's signature.
'Hello! Thank you for your support of me, you are right, you are my first customer at today's book signing. He Shuheng, right? ’
After answering the other party's words with a smile, Yu Wenle also confirmed the other party's name. Watching the waiting book fans slowly line up, Yu Wenle also seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief. This shows that there is no need to worry about no one to support today.
'Yes! Why bother, the books of the book city, eternal eternity. ’
deliberately explained his name, and Yu Wenle didn't say anything more. After practicing the personality signature for a while, he opened the novel he Shuheng bought and signed his name on it.
'Give me He Shuheng, the first book signing in my life! ’
On the signature, Yu Wenle also deliberately wrote such a line. He Shuheng, who saw this line of words, also felt very excited. It wasn't until someone urged him to leave with a little reluctance.
With the departure of the first book fan, Yu Wenle also truly entered the cycle of flipping the book, signing it, thanking the book again, signing it again, and thanking again. What surprised Yu Wenle was that he was not slow to sign autographs, but there seemed to be more and more people.
At this time, the media reporters waiting outside the signing meeting saw the long queue at the signing meeting. I also think it's a good news material. It's just a pity that Yu Wenle seems reluctant to accept their interview.
It's just that no matter what, they were also commissioned by Royal Culture today to cover and report on the signing party. In addition to recording some video footage, these reporters also inevitably interviewed book fans.
The font signed by Yu Wenle to He Shuheng was also announced later. Many book lovers also feel that He Shuheng is indeed a lucky person. After all, this is also a 'virgin * female sign' on Bunraku, which is indeed precious!
Compared with Dragon City, many book fans rushed to Hope Book City to buy physical books, hoping to get Yu Wenle's signature. 'Smiling Proud Jianghu', which is also sold in other cities, still attracts many readers to buy.
The staff of the Royal Culture Sales Department also began to continuously collect the sales volume of major book cities across the country and summarized them every hour. Looking at the rising sales figures, Qian Xuewen's expression became more and more excited.
He knew that this time the Royal Culture Media was really right. If this hot sales situation can continue, this time Royal Culture Media is estimated to really make a lot of money again!
